The Strangers Of Paris was at the
Theater last night. The performance
WAS Witnessed by a fair audience, ow.
ing largely, no doubt, to the fact that
the play 10 new in Montgomery. 1t is
3 truth well established that q new
play never draws large audience In
this city. The people must know that
are going to see something worth see
ing before they go. This is natural,
and 1t is right. The StrGrglers Of Paris
lie, in short, dark and thrilling story,
an unending record of crime. There
lie murder in the fret act and murder
in the last act. But taking 1t all Ia all
the play is very interesting, and the
presentation was true and clever. The
leading characters are "Jagon, the
Stranglsr," "Blanchard, a condemned
convict" and "Mathilda," Jagon's
daughter. Both "Jsgon" and 'Blancb-
ard" are strong characters, splendidly
Sustained by the players who take
them. The lady players were up to
expectations, and Miss Prudle Cole
appeared to excellent advantage in
the last scene, where her acting won
this admiration and sympathy OF the
audience. - Montgomery (AId') Daily

We are competing atith Indian labor re
! acdrded By G cents per diem cages. That is
the trouble. Though it hurts the British
farmer more than us-and we have mos
| deplorable accounts in the decline of LAM
values there-what cares the Court party
/ of London if it cripples America
Would those farmers at our State Coun,
ell recommend the abolition of the tariff
on wheat, corn, oats. barley, potatoes, but.
| ter, cheese, and eggs, and the whole list of
agricultural productions now protected :
| Would they not rather see an impost on
raw cotton in behalf of the planters south
Of us?
The heaviest tax Americans pay is on
sugar. The revenue. is about So, 00O, 600
from that source alone. Yet that tax was
not originally imposed in the interest of
protection. for our sugar (cane) producing
States weTe out Of the Union. It is the
heaviest burden we have. yet it does not
foster increased productions, for European
beet sugar-an industry built up by govern
ment Subsidies there's driving cane .s.sgaI
to the wall, Just as iron ships are wooden
ships the world over.
Touching Oh ships, our free-trade friends
deplore OH inability to compete with our
British friends. Are they aware that all of
the great British lines are heavily subsi-
died? Is that supremacy, thus obtained,
a result of free trade / So, Heaven save
the mark. Why, the only creditable line
we had-the Australian to San Francisco
had a subsidy amounting to less than one
sixth of what the great Peninsula and
Oriental Steamship Company received from
the British Government, yet that has been
Withdrawn by the present Postmaster-G en-
eral. in violation, it is charged, of law.
Subsidies have been denounced till the last
ore is withdrawn. Could We, under such
circumstances, compete with lines subsi
died BY government whose policy is to
control q vast navy of ccean transports in
time of war
This subject Of the tariff is a broad one
one eminently suited for discussion out
side of the heat and passion of party con
-fict.
If you, Mr.. Plaater can devote a limited
space to its discussion, we may get some
light upon it; for We, who believe the great
prosperity this country has achieved under
protection is largely due to that, believe
most firmly that we should adhere to the
Americ IN system .totle extentof securing |!
protectionto American labor, for the great |
body Of our people are laborers in one field |
or another.
There is no argument 10 defend the
present tariff, which in many Ways needs |
correction, but we maintain the. dignity
and value of American labor, upon which |
all we have andall we are to bayedepends,
and the principle of protecting 1t against
undue and unjust competition with the
under-paid and ill-fel labor of Europe and
Asia and is importance at this time,
when. owing to the arrangement OF. ex-
changes, caused by the silver conspiracy |
it has such an advantage over us, cannot |
be overrated, j. w. PORTER
